By concentrating on pattern recognition aspects of neural works, the author is able to treat many important topics in much greater depth. The most important contribution of the book is the solid statistical pattern recognition approach, a sign of increasing maturity in the field. --Mathematical Reviews<br> The following keywords concisely indicate the contents: artificial neural networks, statistical pattern recognition, probability density estimation, single-layer networks, multi-layer perception, radial basis functions, error functions, parameter optimization algorithms, Bayesian techniques, etc. The book is aimed at researchers and practitioners. It can also be used as the primary text in a course for graduate students (129 graded exercises!). --Industrial Mathematics<br>
